Dark Bilious Vapors

But how could I deny that I possess these hands and this body, and withal escape being classed with persons in a state of insanity, whose brains are so disordered and clouded by dark bilious vapors....

06/24/2004: Beautiful, simply beautiful....

compared to last night's fugly win. Not as many runs scored, but we shut out The Hated Cubs, which made it all worthwhile. And we ruined Matt Clement's perfect record against the Cardinals, while preserving Chris Carpenter's perfect record against the Cubs.

And at the risk of being accused of a bit of schadenfreud, I was forced to watch tonight's game on WGN. I always like it when the Cardinals spank the Cubs while I'm watching WGN; it's nice to shut up those obnoxious rooters in the TV booth.
